However, MCV is now reporting that there may be hope yet for the game. According to the report, three sources from the studio stated that, while the majority of freelancers who were working on the game have already departed, the remaining contracted employees are being surveyed as to whether they would like to either continue work on the game or accept a severance and leave at the end of April. The report also states that several Lionhead employees proposed continuing development on Fable Legends as an independent studio, although other sources were unable to corroborate this claim.

We have reached out to Microsoft and will update this story should we receive a response.
